Quality Assessment is the process the higher education funding bodies use to gain assurance about the standard of the qualifications awarded by a higher education provider and the quality of the academic experience provided to students.

All higher education providers are required to meet national requirements for the standard of their qualifications and the quality of the academic experience provided to students.

The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) is a government scheme which recognises excellent learning and teaching in universities, colleges and other higher education providers. It provides information to help higher education students choose where to study.

Based on the evidence available, the TEF Panel judged that the higher education provider delivers consistently outstanding teaching, learning and outcomes for its students. It is of the highest quality found in the UK.
